So...
:51:18
.. you've come here to sell me
Robert Chiltern's letter.

:51:21
To offer it to you on condition.
How did you guess?

:51:26
- What is your price for it?
- My price.

:51:30
I've arrived at the romantic stage.
:51:33
When I saw you the other night
at the Chilterns',...

:51:36
.. I knew you were the only person
I'd ever cared for,...

:51:40
.. if I've ever cared for anybody, Arthur.
:51:44
So...
:51:48
.. on the morning of the day...
:51:50
.. that you marry me,
I will give you Robert Chiltern's letter.

:51:57
That is my offer.
:52:01
- Are you quite serious?
- Yes.

:52:04
Quite serious.
:52:06
My dear Mrs Cheveley,...
:52:10
.. I'm afraid I should make you
a very bad husband.

:52:12
I don't mind bad husbands.
I've had two. They amuse me immensely.

:52:18
Here is a chance to rise
to great heights of self-sacrifice.

:52:22
I think you should.
:52:24
The rest of your life, you can spend
contemplating your own perfections.

:52:28
I do that as it is.
:52:30
For the privilege of being your wife,...
:52:32
.. I am ready to sacrifice
the greatest prize in my possession.

:52:41
I'm honoured.
:52:47
- Arthur,...
- Mmm?

:52:48
.. you loved me once.
You asked me to be your wife.

:52:51
Ask me again.
:52:54
Ask me now.
